Description
The adaptive reuse approach is gaining ground also in the hotel industry. The careful and respectful handling of the building fabric is as important in this process as the creative extension. Converting old structures is a great way to offer an authentic experience for guests, while also conserving land, reducing urban sprawl, and preserving the originality of historic buildings. The featured architects show different possibilities how stations, warehouses, churches and offices can be convert – ed into hotels. Whether through striking contrast with the new creation or reinterpretation of the existing architec – ture or indeed both together all featured projects are defined by their respectful and thoughtful stance towards the sites they occupy and establish an enthralling relation – ship between the old and the new.
